Where to stay in Patagonia

Choose El Chaltén for trail days, El Calafate for Perito Moreno, or a Torres del Paine lodge or refugio for Chile’s park. The right setting depends on the next day’s journey.

Two countries, separate bookings

El Calafate and El Chaltén are in Argentina. Torres del Paine and its Puerto Natales gateway are in Chile. Choose the side that fits your time before committing to a border transfer.

A moving trek or a road base?

On the W, reserve each mountain overnight. For day walks and road viewpoints, choose the actual road-access lodge and arrange its trailhead connection. These are different accommodation plans. [2]

Questions before you go

Can I use a road-access hotel for every W Trek night?

No. The saved walking sequence moves through Grey, Francés, Cuernos and Chileno. Road-access hotels sit outside that chain; reserve each required mountain overnight. [2]

Are the listed rooms available?

This is a location comparison. Confirm your dates, accommodation category, final total and terms with the provider.
